Upgrade from CL-61................................

[budahbuddy803 10+ year member]

Well, I'm currently running what is in my sig. I, like everyone else, want to improve my midbass. I am getting another 36sqft of damplifier pro to seal up the doors. I want to keep the price under $200 for a pair of 6.5" mids with 40rms @4 ohm or 50rms@2ohm. Honestly, the CDT set that i am running sounds pretty darn good to me compared to a few other sets around town. They get plenty loud for me with this power, but i would like to be able to drop my hpf to 63hz. I might can play around with the tuning a little more and get them to play, but i am looking to switch up the mid. Any suggestions?

Just from looking on wooferetc i like the ID CX62... should i look elsewhere?

Is upping the power necessary if i already think my current setup gets plenty loud with only 40rms?

You say M6>CX? More likely CDT>ID?

you need to power them better, get an amp that does 125x2 and you will be very impressed.

and why are you sending quality speakers 40 watts anyway?

I take it you have heard them? Good midbass and sounds nice?

no, but they are supposed to be better than some $400 dollar components and are probably the best SQ speakers for the price.

Honestly I am trying to upgrade because i am thinking of loosing the sub.... Not sure why, but i think i will be happy with just a good front stage.

I could bridge the alpine for the tweets and pick up a diff 2 ch. for the mids and deaden/seal the balls out of my doors. I wouldnt mind doing that.

I'll just add, comps in the doors and deff. dependent on the install.

well, bottom line is that you have to get more amplifier power before you upgrade your speakers. Spend that 200 bucks on a good amp that does 100-150 rms and you will be set.
